New 2026 Jaguar F-PACE P250 R-Dynamic S

The F-PACE is a strikingly designed car, with a gorgeous exterior and a two-tone interior that is also very elegant. The ergonomics are very good, although you don't want to press two buttons to adjust the heated or ventilated seats. The seats are incredibly comfortable, and the heating and ventilation feature works great. The second row is more spacious than anything you tested, which was important because your son is 6'2" and the rear seats recline a little bit so he has plenty of room. The cargo area is enormous for the class. The Meridian audio system sounds fantastic, and has great mid-range and bass. Music sounds very true with this system. Visibility out the sides and front is excellent. The safety systems seem to work well, I hope to never find out about all of them. Adaptive cruise control works great. The factory navigation is one of the better ones I've used. Android / CarPlay is still in the most effective system, and it is very well integrated in the F-PACE. Regarding performance, I still can't believe this is an SUV. It handles better than several dedicated sports cars and sedans I have owned. The ride is firm, but never stiff or punishing. When you engage the manual shifting controls the response is immediate. The throttle response is good and the brakes are smooth, in the steering it is incredibly accurate with good feedback. This is a very, very wide SUV, wider than my GLS450, but it is easier to place and handles like a much smaller car. The handling is even better in the S, or SVR, but you will have to deal with a much stiffer ride. This is not an inexpensive car, but if you want a sublime driving experience, beautiful styling, a relatively large interior for the segment, and a significant amount of standard safety and tech, the F-PACE is a great choice. Yes, it comes at a modest premium over some of the competition, but for us it was well worth it. Another nice secondary positive is that you won't see one on every corner. If all you care for is an appliance to mindlessly take you from point A to B, buy something else.
